and services that are offered. We treat clients referred from local
neighborhood health
centers many of whom require help in managing chronic pain conditions. We utilize
Mike's Gym for more advanced sports
and work conditioning. We also deliver aquatic therapy the

help and encourage patients to transition into fitness programs as a means
